More inspectors needed in constant battle against minimum wage cheats, says TUC
“It’s great to see more cheapskate bosses brought to justice for not paying the minimum wage. It’s a constant battle though, and despite the growing list of those named and shamed there are many other employers still getting away with it.

Commenting on the naming and shaming today (Tuesday) by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills of employers who have cheated staff out of the minimum wage, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:
“It’s great to see more cheapskate bosses brought to justice for not paying the minimum wage. It’s a constant battle though, and despite the growing list of those named and shamed there are many other employers still getting away with it.
“The government should invest in more inspectors so that every single minimum wage cheat is caught.”
